Ex-Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano State has revealed why Northern youths are angry with Igbo people.

“The young men in the North, I don’t know them, but I think the ultimatum they gave, I don’t know and I’m not sure whether it is right from their hearts. But one of these things that the other people are saying is that the people here (North) are sick and tired of all these agitations. People want to make progress, people want to move forward but with all these calls and so on, they are just dragging them backward.”

“Therefore, in their own opinion, they gave the ultimatum for peace to reign. I don’t believe that the people of the North are interested in allowing the Igbo to leave the North. Because the general belief in the North is that we are better together, as long as we have peace and as long as we work together as family in the general interest of our people.”
